I am a senior citizen and I do not like the new TeleScotia system. I am unable to process my requests and it is impossible to get an operator on the line.

I recently had to re order custom cheques. First off I was told to go to my Branch to do it. I explained that as a Senior citizen it was difficult for me to get there. The person agreed to handle my request. I then stressed a number of times that I require duplicate cheques. I received the cheques but they were NOT in duplicate. I tried contacting the bank and did not get a good response I am very disappointed in the service.
